Captain America: Civil War kinda ruined the whole franchise for me. It's clear the random heroes are good and conscientious people and far more trustworthy with the power than having them controlled by a government system that is run by the most greedy and power hungry people.

Also Black Panther. A deathmatch between royal bloodlines is just no proper form of electing government. It beats modern democracy, but still...

The MCU is such fascist propaganda. It has people believing that the billionaire arms dealer is the good guy and democratically elected world governments should be ignored.

Hmm well let me clarify. I believe random selection (Sortition) of representatives would be wildly more democratic due to filter effects in the system. Like most people are good if they are not broken or something. So I believe the (randomly selected) heros were more representatives than the government and should not have bowed down.
